The Hard Ground @ The Loft

IRISH ALT-POP band The Hard Ground have been winning the praises of Nialler9, The Last Mixed Tape, and GoldenPlec, and Galway will see what the fuss is about next week.

The Hard Ground play The Loft (formerly Kelly’s ) on Friday May 15 at 8.30pm, in support of their new album Triptych, which The Last Mixed Tape called “a stellar release”; GoldenPlec described it as “elegant and sassy”; while Nialler9 singled out the song ‘Pucker’ for special praise, calling it “a beaut”.

Triptych blends lush harmonies, rock riffs, and a pop sensibility, and follows the band’s 2012 debut album Broken Conversations, which was nominated in the Sunday Times Top Ten Irish albums of 2012. The band also sold out shows in Ireland and Britain in 2014.
